Free dining 2015 is open for everyone.

I'm trying to book something now online. Just keep getting a "server is busy" message.

We have dates booked that fall in free dinning. Our Magical Journeys agent has already added the free dinning to our package.

We have more dates booked than we needed we wanted some flexibility to find fights that worked for the six of us.

We need to cancel some of the dates. Does that affect our reservation at all?

I might see if we can change our dates to arrive later so that we can do the free dining. :cloud9: thank you very much for your help!

Yay! We arrive on October 1st! Waiting to hear if Magical Journey's was able to get our POFQ reservation moved to a resort that is part of the promotion.

Kept trying and managed to book a package! :mickey:

So happy for you all that are able to get a package. I wish that they would allow passholders to get it. Looks like we won't be going back this year. :( I know in the past they offered it to passholders, guess they lost too much money that way.

Wow - Big decision here. Does anyone know what the cancelation fees would be if I book this offer for November at Caribbean Beach, then needed to cancel?

A RO discount is also out now as well.

Just got an email from Magical Journey's that there is nothing available at any of the moderate or value resorts for my dates of 10/1 - 10/7. I am so disappointed, I thought I had this planned perfectly (using historical info). I wish I had started checking for something my self when I woke up at 5am. If I check daily on my own and find something can I call and make changes or am I stuck because my reservation is through Magical Journey's?

Thank you Melissa at Magical Journeys for your hard work. We had to change our trip by a month but the free dining makes it :thumbsup:.

Unless things have changed, as long as you have not used a park entry off the tickets purchased with the package, it would work like a non-expiration ticket. I am not sure how/if it would work with an AP renewal.

The first time we bought APs, we went into a Customer Service counter at one of the parks on the last day of our 8 day trip and asked if we could upgrade to APs. They then applied the value of the trip we were currently on towards the purchase price, and along with our DVC discount, it was only another $40 to get the APs.

Of course, using APs prohibits you from free dining. We currently have APs, but they expire in May. We're going in September and snagged Free Dining, and we've talked about doing that same thing again....on the last day of the September trip trying to upgrade to APs, but we're planning to come back next fall with some friends, and they want free dining as well. So we couldn't use the APs for that future trip. We'll see...

The system is very volitile right now. We will see more availability open as people move around. Your agent will keep checking as well

Today has been hades on wheels for the agents. Disney has to have the worst computer system in the industry. We thank you for your support and your patience.

Amen to that! I have never understood why they don't invest in a stronger IT infrastructure. The ROI created by making those improvements would be the increase in bookings due to the reduced time it would take to make a reservation.

For Nanci and the other wonderful agents at Magical Journeys, I send virtual drinks to all of you :marg::wine::beer::D !

Isn't that the truth?! I would happily forgo a new attraction if they would please put the money into making their system work well.

Not seeing a RO option. Is it on their site or is it a DV offer?
